Post by flyboy_fx » Wed Nov 23, 2011 12:33 am

Hi guys.

JNew Boy got the last Stuka nose section. The mould broke down when I pulled his out.

I also should make the frame for the canopy a little thinner.

Other than that I think the other moulds are fine.

The kit includes

2x under wing scoops
new wheel spats
new wing tips
new ( correct ) prop
streamlined canopy frame
vacuum formed glass
G-style cowling.

There are 2 things that I did not make with the kit .
The twin mg's and antenna.
I am not sure if I have heard anybody who has completed theirs.

I have had full intentions of making a full build but that has never happened.
The kit is fairly simple you need to cut off the nose and split the wheel pants of the original to use it tires.

If you chose to use the wing tip option there is a convenient panel line to cut so that you can use them.

The canopy frame is a little fiddly but most vacuum canopies are.

Other than that it should be an easy build.

Check out Pickelhaube's Big Stuff in the " buy-sell forum " and the build will be there.

Are there any plans to do more nose pieces? After looking at the pics in the build thread, I've got the itch to try one of these and I just got a donor plane :)


Whoops! Nevermind... just read the update in the B/S/T section. Excellent news and by then, I'll be off probation to use that forum. I see all kinds of stuff I need there!
